Cicatricial Trichiasis
Conditions
Brief summary
in recent years there has been a significant shift from this destructive procedure to a reconstructive procedure such as Anterior Lamellar Recession (ALR) and Bilamellar Tarsal Rotation (BLTR).
Interventions
PROCEDUREAnterior Lamellar Recession
ALR is a common surgical treatment that splits the skin and orbicularis oculi muscle from the tarsus and conjunctiva to recede the anterior lamella and expose the tarsus. Interlamellar separation can be accomplished via a grey line technique, an eyelid crease approach, or a combination of the two
PROCEDUREBilamellar Tarsal Rotation
the full-thickness transverse blepharotomy combined with everting sutures to rotate the inferior portion of the upper lid outwards and this procedure has a low recurrence risk
